Hotel Las Nubes

Hotel Las Nubes Review

Opened in 2010, this beachfront hotel, named "the clouds," is remotely located on the northeast side of the island. This quiet retreat is the most luxurious of Holbox properties, but it is also the most expensive. For those willing to splurge, rooms are housed in four white buildings, complete with tile floors, beamed ceilings, thatched roofs, and modern decor. There are three pools and plenty of hammocks and chairs, but the beach is virtually nonexistent unless you head slightly west of the property. There is, however, a small sandbar just offshore where candlelit dinners are served (guests are taken across by canoe). The unobstructed views from the rooftop terrace are stunning, and there is plenty of wildlife to keep you entertained, including flamingos, iguanas, and a pet raccoon that hangs out in common areas. This is one of the only properties on the island to offer Wi-Fi in every room; turndown service; a full spa; and room service. Although a far walk from town, the hotel offers complimentary bikes; you can also catch a golf cart-taxi for $5.
